Hi
I have got a Fit-PC2i which max have been running 100 hours or so.
After quite some time I finally got to plug it in last night, the FIT-PC have been without power for 2 or 3 months.

On first boot it showed the "Intel Atom" startup logo and stalled there, I powered it off and have been trying 20 times since - only light in the power LED, no boot or nothing.
I have tryed without the SSD drive in, tested the keyboard on another PC, with a Ubuntu USB stick in but no boot at all.....

What to do? in the recycel bin and buy a Rasberry Pi or could there be any hope?

There should be no problems with the fact that it was unpowered for 2-3 month, except CMOS battery that might be depleted. Anyway depleted battery does not affect the boot, just the RTC time.

Are you able to enter the BIOS screen after remove the storage?
Are you using Compulab's OS? Linux or Windows? It should be 32-bit.

Please reinstall the Linux image, or try different OS (like Windows 7, 32-bit).
If you're unable to enter the BIOS screen (by pressing F2 many times), please consider RMA.
